Fave neil peart drumming in a song??
As per title - looking for best drumming in an accessible Rush song. Rather than a drum solo.
Here's thing - a family friend died last week. Bit of a drummer - big Neil Peart fan. On the off chance - I want to do a cd of 1,2 or 3 ear-friendly Rush track with great drumming, for the funeral/after party. I was into them early on - in fact they were one of the first band I saw live, back around '78 - but I lost track of them in the 80's, sometime..
Ideas??

I was going to say La Villa Strangiato too.
Arguably one of the most Rush-y Rush tracks there is!
Also YYZ is a good representation of the band.
Hope the wake goes ok - nice touch having his favourite music playing.
As it's a wake maybe "Afterimage" should be included.
Circumstances maybe
easy peasey
for playing:
Jacob's Ladder
YYZ
Spirit of the Radio
for tone and utter coolness:
Tom Sawyer

It's often overlooked, but I really like 'Losing It' off of Signals.
Probably not suitable for a wake though.
Under the circumstances, maybe "the garden" from the new album clockwork angels? Probably not a great example of Neil's abilities but good tune.
Wifey (big rush fan) suggests in addition to some of the other already mentioned,
Tears (2112)
Different strings (permanent waves)
In the end (fly by night)
Closer to the heart (farewell to kings)
Mystic rhythms (power windows)
Again, maybe not Neil "showcases" but non the less reasonable ideas.
I think the wake may be over - even us Micks don't drink that long.
